About Laser Therapy

Laser therapy is a modern technology used to relieve tough pain and promote deep healing. It can also be used in a way similar to acupuncture but without needles to help people quit smoking and to control their weight. Dr. Ken Goldman utilizes a class IV therapeutic laser, called the KLaser, which is the best type of therapeutic laser developed at this point. Laser therapy is non-invasive, painless, safe and very effective. Typical treatment time is just 15 minutes. We have had great success treating clients presenting with tough, chronic pain conditions. Laser therapy is a unique therapy because it is not based on the development of heat but on the photochemical and photobiological effects in cells and tissues. Laser light positively stimulates the functions of injured cells. These positive effects include increased production of ATP (cellular energy). This means that if the cell is damaged and inflamed it can heal quicker with laser therapy. Even if the cell has undergone degenerative changes (such as arthritis), it can recharge itself with energy and begin to heal. Dr. Goldman performing laser therapy on patientLaser therapy energizes cell function, promotes healing of damaged tissue, and helps restore body function. This healing can occur even after metabolic slow-downs due to immobility, traumas or surgical operations. Laser therapy also stimulates blood and lymphatic microcirculation. This means that more oxygen and nutrition will get to the injured tissue. It also means that the drainage of cellular waste and toxins will improve. This leads to tissue healing.

It does not require the use of drugs or surgery, there are less side effects of risks, and it is quick and convenient. Studies have shown that it is equal to or more effective than other forms of physical therapy. What does the treatment feel like? Does it hurt? There is little or no sensation during treatment-occasionally one feels mild, soothing warmth, or tingling. How long does the treatment take? The typical course of treatment is five to fifteen minutes depending on the size of the area being treated. How often should a patient be treated? Acute or new conditions may be treated daily, particularly if they are accompanied by significant pain. More chronic or long-lasting problems respond better when treatments are received 2 to 3 times a week tapering to once every other week, with improvement. How many treatments does it take? This depends on the nature of the condition being treated. For some acute conditions 1-6 treatments may be sufficient. Those of a more chronic nature may require 6-12 (or more) treatments. Conditions such as severe arthritis may require ongoing periodic care to control pain. How long before results are felt? You may feel improvement in your condition (usually pain reduction) after the very first treatment. Each treatment is cumulative and results are often felt after 3-4 sessions. Can it be used in conjunction with other forms of treatment? Yes, Laser Therapy may even more effective when combined with other forms of therapy, including physical rehabilitation, chiropractic adjustments, massage, soft tissue mobilization, electrotherapy and even following surgery. Is it a Cold Laser Treatment? No, the K-Laser that Dr Goldman uses is a Class-4 Heat Laser with much deeper penetrating power. No Cold Laser on the market today can come close to the therapeutic effects of a Class-4 device. Can Laser Therapy be used over medical implants or metal? Yes, laser therapy is light treatment. No heating is involved of the surgical or metal implants. It can be used safely with no side effects. How do I know if Laser Therapy is right for me?
